Connor and I are streaming a Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire Nuzlocke for Extra Life yet again! I'll just quote the blurb I wrote on the Extra Life page because that requires the least amount of effort.

Dear Friends, Family, and possible generous donators..

I'm on a mission to save kids and I need your help. My local Children's Miracle Network Hospital treats thousands of children each year, regardless of their family's ability to pay. These kids are facing scary stuff like cancer, cystic fibrosis, and injuries from accidents to name just a few.

So me and my very close friend Connor are going to be streaming video games and collecting donations to help out kids in need. Normally Extra Life streams are once a year, but we're going to try and do this multiple times this year, and raise as much money as we possibly can in the process.

The first stream will start on February 18th at 12pm Eastern/11am Central and end at the same time on the 19th. 24 hours straight! After that, we will plan and announce more 24 hour streams as we find the time to do them. It's all about having a good time, and bringing people together for a good cause, and we're more than happy to forego sleeping and sanity to get that job done.

Your donation is tax-deductible and ALL PROCEEDS go to the Children's Health Foundation in London, Ontario.

I need your help to reach my goal For The Kids. Please make a safe, easy donation online today. Click the "Support This Participant" button on this page to get started. Thank you so much for supporting the cause!

If you guys would like to donate to the cause, follow this link HERE to donate to my Extra Life page or HERE to donate to Connor's. It really means a lot to both of us if you can donate even the smallest amount.

You should be able to donate right NOW if you'd like! Any little bit helps! : )

So ever since Extra Life, I caught the livestream bug. It's a lot of fun, and I love interacting with fans on a whole different level! I've streamed Skyrim, Pokemon, and Dark Souls. Dark Souls might be my favourite since I know nothing about the game, I just take hints and direction from the viewers.

I recently started a new series on my YouTube channel which is essentially a highlight video of my livestreams, but with a ball load of editing thrown in. It's an easily accessible way to get into the streams and I hope it brings viewers over from Live Stream to YouTube and vice versa. I'm pretty proud of the format and how it turned out. It took about 5+ hours to make and I feel it was totally worth it.

If you guys like the video, it would help a ton if you shared it around! Give me even more incentive to make videos and have fun doing it. (I already love it, but you know what I mean)

Now, onto the Q&A jam.I've been planning a video where I answer all of your questions with my stupid face in front of a camera for a year, but I never had the necessary set up. Now I do! So I'll be taking questions on this weird website Ask.fm just because you don't have to make an account and it's easy for some of the lazier people out there.

You can ask any questions you may have about me, what I do, or anything else and I'll answer it to the best of my ability. This is a way for some newer peeps to get to know me a little better. It'll double as my channel trailer, so I'll go through the whole 'Welcome to my channel' spiel first then get right into the questions. I'll try to make it entertaining and not just informative, but we'll see if I can manage that great feat. If I don't get enough questions, I'll just go through some tumblr asks and old questions I got on that journal from a year ago.

I was going to make a cute little journal about X and Y, but I decided to hold off on that because something more important has come to my attention.

A YouTuber that goes by the name of TotalBiscuit, whom I don't watch personally, but I know he's a great guy with a great voice. If you aren't familiar with him, he has a series called "WTF is..." it's essentially a "Do you buy this game or not" review, where he plays a game and tells you if it's good or not and if you should purchase it. He did one for a game called Day One: Garry's Incident and he said something along the lines of, 'the game is broken garbage, don't buy it'.The video was taken down. It received a copyright claim from the French-Canadian developers stating that he had no right to make money off of their intellectual property. That being said, there are still a lot of videos out there about this game, all monetizing, most give bad impressions on the game. TotalBiscuit's video was targeted most likely because it has the most amount of views, and had the harshest critique on the game.

This is an example of how easily the YouTube copyright claim system is abused.

Check out the video TotalBiscuit himself made here. He explains everything from why this claim was unjust, to the outright lies from the developers of the game.

And please share this video around. I myself, try my best to put out content on YouTube and aspire to one day earn a living doing the thing I love so much. Playing video games, and interacting with friends and fans alike. If the system is continually abused as much as it, that'll never happen for me and for the thousands upon thousands of people that want to and currently do that themselves.

Thanks for reading, guys. I'll put out the X and Y journal sometime this week.

If you haven't already, check out the Internet Box Podcast Episode 104 it was a great one!I made a little video prequel to the podcast which you can watch here.And finally, my channel if you want to see the videos I make in my spare time.

So, I've been playing LOADS of Animal Crossing: New Leaf and hopefully I can give my opinions on an upcoming podcast. 3 hour Animal Crossing-cast anyone? Something I will say, is my favourite piece of music from the game is hands down the song Kapp'n sings when he takes you to the island. I showed my appreciation for this song on twitter, and so did @hameko1019, the musician behind Internet Box Episode 85's Intro! She took the lyrics that he sings and sung it in her awesome voice! She did a great job, so go show your support to her and listen to it here!

If you're still interested in my personal projects/life, keep reading. I won't blame you if you're busy listening to the song on repeat.

Onto my videos. If you don't know, I've been frequently uploading some playthrough videos on my channel. I started Pokemon Colosseum on the GameCube quite a few months ago and got back to it when I started using my channel again. I recently completed Ultimate Spider-Man on the PS2. (Donated by @mattbailey. Thanks, dude!!) And a few weeks ago I started my Alien Hominid playthrough. I'm only one part in so far and got distracted due to three factors;

1. I had family over for the entire weekend (My recording and editing time)2. I have Animal Crossing and Monster Hunter3. I am very lazy

I also put out a special one-off video biweekly. (I try to keep it on Wednesday if I can, to get people over humpday!) That includes jump cutting through a bit of the game and trying to be witty. I like to call these Onesies, just since I'll never revisit the game. I just milk it for all it's worth, then toss it in the bin. Here's my channel if you're interested! If you're not, that's cool too. Certain videos aren't for certain people. Just give it a shot, and if you don't like my stuff no worries!

And finally, RTX. I posted a journal a while back explaining why I was strapped for cash and regrettably asked for help. It was a success and I reached the amount I needed to fund my trip within a few hours! I was so incredibly happy, but still very ashamed of myself like a dog that shit the bed and pissed all over the entire house. So now I get to see all you guys in person!

I'm sure you've already heard, but we're actually having another Internet Box panel! Not sure why they want us back, but you can let us know you're going by clicking "I'm attending!" on this page;

It'll be super exciting and fun and stuff. I've also been working on a custom Spider-Man costume and I might bring it to the convention hall and wear it while @SuburbanFire walks around with an Iron Man glove on being Tony Stark. That sounds like fun! I just have to figure out how to hide my D in the costume? Any tips, cosplayers? Now let's get away from my dick for a second.....

Here's a list of stuff we can possibly do together at RTX 2013! (Incoming massive ego)

1. We can take pictures and stuff.2. I'll sign whatever you put in my face. (Dicks included depending on location)3. I might set up a Monster Hunt, so bring your 3DS and Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate!4. It's quite possible I'll be playing Animal Crossing while I'm there. Maybe I can invite some people over to my town, WHO KNOWS?! (A lot of people have been asking for this one, so let's do it)5. You'll get a super happy Dylon-brand smile if you bring a Cooking with Dylon shirt! And a 'super-special-exact-same-as every-other-signature' signature!6. Sing the Shingeki no Kyojin theme with you. 7. Touch butts and have fun!

I feel like I'm forgetting something, so I might come back and edit this journal a bit later. But thanks for putting up with me, and supporting me as much as you guys have been. You're all amazing. Even you, Chad.

I want to go to RTX, but I can't afford it. I really can't. I tried to pay off my debt, but I'm not even half way through with it. Now here comes the sad part; I'm going to start some kind of donation pool. This won't be mentioned on the Internet Box. This is just coming from me. It'll be promoted via my twitter, tumblr, etc, and you--if you want to help out.This was supposed to be my last resort. My plans fell through and I couldn't get the money as quickly as I thought I could.

Anyway, I only want you to donate if you really want to see me at RTX. Don't feel like you have to because I'm on a podcast you listen to sometimes. Donate because you want to.

Here's the link to the campaign. I really hope I did everything right and it all goes swimmingly.

A story which was exciting, creepy, unflinching, with rich characters and none of those bloated paragraphs about the details of a door handle.

That's exactly what I've created with Blood And Starlight. But wait, there's more! It also has space battles! Crafty pirates! A quick witted bounty hunter and an actual plot that goes somewhere instead of just aimlessly leading you to the final page.

I've recently been re-listening to all the IB podcast starting from episode 1 and I have to say that you are fucking hilarious. "I WILL SHOWER THEM WITH MY SEMEN!" Thanks for the laughs.

i have to say, thank you for talking about attack on titan so much on previous podcasts. if it wasnt for you, i would never have watched it and its one of my favorite shows now and im not even a big anime guy

Alright. I just sent you a Friend Invite on Steam and checked out your wishlist. I might be able to get one of those games for you. Would you also be interested in Sanctum (1or 2) or Awesomenauts? All three are on sale and you can try out Sanctum 2 for free.

Hey Dylon me and my friends made a podcast and I used your "technique" of synicing up the audio with the counting from 1 through 5 and I was wondering (if you have time of course) if you could possibly give feedback on anything like audio wise or editing wise

Have you re-watched Shingeki no Kyojin on Netflix? If you haven't, I wouldn't recommend it if you originally watched it on crunchyroll. I say crunchyroll because that's the subbed version I watched and I know for a fact that it's different. If you watched it on another site, it might not be different. But, assuming you watched on crunchyroll, in the Netflix version, they change Jean's name to John and they can't decide on how they want to spell Eren's last name.

I figured you might know, so I have a quick question: Why is it that the Internet Box doesn't monetize or actually follow through with an online storefront concept?

From what I know, the IB has a significant following and could probably pull, at least, a solid 10 - 20% profit on shirts, the slap bands, etc. on a fairly large scale. (By my estimation, I would assume to see 100 - 500 products selling per month on a fairly conservative scale) I realize that for some of the crew, it would become a conflict of interests (perhaps), but that isn't necessarily true since you don't really run in the same vein of entertainment, and it is essentially a secondary investment of their time, not a competitive enterprise.

Sorry, I have just been a long time listener and observer, and I had to see if there was a solid answer for this.

In any case, I hope to catch up with you again at RTX, like we did last year!

That could really depend on the brand. Recently, trends have started to turn in favor of "edgier" comedy or dialogue as a popular medium for brand expansion, so don't be too sure that you couldn't find a few legitimate (read: non-porn, non-adult novelties, etc.) companies

As far as where everyone works: It isn't necessarily a matter of who works for RT and who doesn't since the revenue earned could go towards furthering the Podcast (financially and through budgetary means) as it would mean travel money for those who would normally be unable to make trips to conventions for IB panels, money for better software for editing, microphones, etc. Again, as easy as it is to create online storefronts that are backed up by third party warehousing groups or product manufacturers, it wouldn't even require people to work this as full-time job. (Thus eliminating the worry of people being paid while others may not get paid since they have to work for RT full-time!)

Sorry... I suppose it is the business analyst aspect of me coming out, but I think there is a large potential for both IB target market growth and for an opportunity to make your lives a little simpler with better tech, more free time to focus on your own, personal project aside from IB, etc.

Dat hat lol. I missed this the first time but after you leave the castle. Turn right and go to the garden. His daughter will have a quest for you. It goes into a whole quest line that you wouldn't get otherwise.

On podcast 113 you talked about Dungeons and Dragons. Is it fun? What's it like? I've always wanted to play it, but none of my friends are "cool" enough to want to play it or are too lazy to gather together.

Just listened to Internet Box 114 (great episode by the way) anyway, I caught the whole Ray William Johnson thing at the end and read the twitter conversation. I think it would be funny if you went and either added to the conversation or tweeted at RWJ with his quote about how you'll never know what success feels like and include a picture of the podcast award. Congratulations on the win by the way!

What is the usual genre of anime you watch (action, romance, comedy, etc.)? I feel like I owe you the name of a good anime or two since you recommended me such awesome ones. If I know what your interested in, I'll be able to suggest a series you might like.

I also haven't had a lot of time to watch anime either. School is the worst. Anyways, I've seen a couple of good series' recently. One of my favorite recent ones is "Higurashi no Naku Koro ni" (or "When They Cry" if you like horribly translated names). If you haven't seen it yet, it's an amazing horror anime about mysterious deaths that occur during the Cotton Drifting Festival in the quiet town of Hinamizawa. One of my favorite things about it is how scary the innocent and friendly main characters can get.

I am half Japanese and i was born there and lived there twice and almost every stereotype about japan is actually true XD literally go to freaking Tokyo and you will almost guarantee see an anime character walking down the street and everything is relatively close o its easy to go everywhere. its amazing :D

Hey Dylon, I'm looking for some new anime to watch. What are some of your favorites? I decided to ask you since you're like an anime god.By the way, sorry for bothering you so much recently. I'm probably getting annoying since I'm spamming your comments with stuff.

It's cool! I don't get all that many comments, so they're welcome here. : )Some of my favourites are Shingeki no Kyojin, Sword Art Online, Mirai Nikki, Death Note, Ao no Exorcist, and Gurren Lagann to name a few.

(Sorry for commenting 2 times in a row) I forgot to say this earlier, but if you're not it to comedy, it does get really serious in the 3rd season. Check it out and tell me what you think. I won't get offended if you think it's bad. I just felt like recommending something to you.

Hey Dylon, Your an avid anime watcher, right? I found this anime called "The World God Only Knows". It's funny series about a guy who plays dating sims who is contacted by a demon to get rid of loose souls in people by making them fall in love with him. I just finished the all episode to date. I thought you might be interested. Also,the main character reminds me of Mike. Link to it on Crunchroll

Hey Dylon, just a heads up but I found another site that sells 3DSs with the same capture card set up as that other site. Cost is a little higher since it's being shipped from Japan rather than the US (http://www.3dsvideocapture.com) as well apparently theres an alt order site for the first one you showed me that has stuff in stock as well (http://3dscapture.com/order_alt.html). Hopefully will be able to get one.

Oh, thank you! It's still super expensive which means it'll probably be a while before I can ever get it. Hopefully I can do some kind of art commissions to raise a few bucks. Or I'll finally get that redbull sponsorship, haha!

Thanks, man! And all I can think of is conventions in Toronto. I can't really make the trip to anything big and out of province. Too expensive and too time consuming.Maybe in the future when I've got more spare money together!

Dude so just finishing up on my Nuzlocke run of Soul Silver and decided on the next run. A mono/scramble run. Someone else chooses a type and 6 pokemon of that type and thats all I can use/capture for the entire game (HM slaves are the exception).

Is it bad that I started and finished Shingeki no Kyojin in under three days? Again, thanks for recommending it because it's now my favorite anime. I love the action and the story so much. I can't wait for the next season.

I was thinking of reading the manga, but I feel like when I do that, I always make comparisons between the anime and manga. Does this series have big differences between the two? If it doesn't, I will check it out.

It's like, the complete opposite of bad. And coming from someone that has read the manga, it get's a LOT BETTER!: )))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

Hey man, judging by your anime knowledge dropping on IB, I'm wondering what are some shorter animes that you recommend? I've been trying to get through One Piece for about a year now and I'm feeling a little burnt out on it and want to some other animes to kind of refresh me. Any help would be awesome! Heres a smiley face
